Anchorman: Will Ferrell strikes back
Eagles lose state football championship. damn.
And what did dan learn from the 6 exciting St. Edward games he saw this year?
St. Ed's really, really needs a band. A real marching band.
And, Eagle fans should learn to be like the hitler youth and cheer in unison. That Elder crowd at the championship game was frightfully good.
Oh yea, St. Eds also plays some great football. 2003 was great and 2004 should be even better. Go Ealges.
cincy: Repeat it: Panthers are state champions
cleve: Elder wears down St. Ed, ending a dream season

Congressman Dennis Kucinich on voting rights
Kucinich on the problems of electronic voting ... he's stating the obvious, but no "mainstream" media company has dared to look into the fact that electronic voting is the sad, sick finale of democracy.
What if millions of people used absentee ballots in 04 -- keeping the networks from being able to decare a winner on election night? would that decrease voting fraud? increase the chances of it?

May I Help You, Dumbass
From the king of funny, matt:
"you can download a new crank call cd from matt besser (from Upright Citizens Brigade)
he had the same phone number as a computer technical support but with a new york area code instead of texas, so anyone in new york that didnt dial the area code got him
he graciously answered and recorded the calls
enjoy, not safe for work as it may cause uncontrollable laughter, just like the new game "Cranium""

an american slut in europe

Other MTV award fun:
Justin Hawkins of the The Darkness, The 70s never left. See their def leppard/motley crue tribute (real) from their web site. Why did I ever stop playing guitar?
Update: Saw about 20 minutes of the show on MTV on 11/30 ... A much more impressive show than any of the American MTV award shows that I can remember ... very cool use of video screens throughout the theatre. But ... the coolest moment was from Travis, a band I have no history with ... and their song The Beautiful Occupation, a semi-anti-war rant that might stand up on its own as a song. Which is tough to do (see: Lenny Kravitz and Zach de la Roche before the Iraqi war).

USATODAY.com - Bush losing support on Iraq, poll says
USATODAY.com - Bush losing support on Iraq, poll says
Sweet. I was a part of this poll ... the second time since turing 18 that a pollster has found me.
Thank goodness I don't have a life and am very reachable by phone.
My call came the afternoon of Sunday, Oct. 26th ... about 13 minutes long. For me, very fun. Much more interesting than the monthly "rock radio" surveys that some nice woman from North Carolina calls me for.
Now I need to find out if the "Do Not Call List" affects news organizations calling for polling purposes. I'm doubting it does, but I also think that most everyone who signed up for the "Do Not Call List" this summer believes that any call they get from a stranger is illegal.
Now, back to the survey ... here's a number that will confound me if Bush is elected in 2004: "while 58% — a new high — say the president fails to understand their problems"
OK, if the poll has a overall margin of error of 3 percentage points, how can a man who does not understand the majority of Americans problems be our leader. Democrats, I'm looking to you ... present your solution, FAST!

the pathetic state of cleveland rock radio
Sad. Driving home from Home Depot Sunday morning ... and the two "rock" stations in Cleveland are playing two songs from the Beastie Boy's "Licensed to Ill" album.
Congratulations, WMMS and WXTM, you're on the forefront of suck.
Why can't radio take chances? Why do I have fond memories of radio circa 1989-1995? It must have sucked then, too.
I'm a fan of NPR, but I hate having to wait for the few good college radio shows each week to enjoy the music on the road.
Here's the fan mail these station just got:
"Retards,
When your main competition for young listeners with dicks is playing Beastie Boys, you should tell the computer that plays your songs to NOT play Beastie Boys at that same time.
Especially Beastie Boys that's over 15 years old. It happened again Sunday morning at 10:25 a.m.
Play rock, and or good music. Still waiting to hear Dream Theater's new single."
And yes, my use of the word "retard" is insensitive. Have you listened to the childish junk that passes for banter in between songs on "active rock" or "extreme" radio these days? These champions of thought will appreciate the direct, cutting address.
